CARABAO CUP: Which academy players have featured?

With the Carabao Cup final just around the corner, we take a look at our academy players who have featured in our campaign so far...

The competition has provided the chance for a host of our young Blues to grab some invaluable senior minutes.

Here, we take a look at every one of our academy players who have had a hand in helping us to Wembley...

Eric Garcia

Eric Garcia made his competitive debut when named in Pep’s starting XI at the King Power Stadium. The centre-back impressed fans as he partnered Nicolas Otamendi on the backline with his calm and controlled nature on the ball.

Burton H

Garcia was called-up once again for the semi-final first leg, where he played the full 90.

Burton A

The 18-year-old was named in the starting line-up for our second leg, playing the duration of the clash at the Pirelli Stadium.

Brahim Diaz

The 19-year-old was in Pep’s XI for our third-round clash away at the Kassam Stadium and saw his deflected shot headed home by Gabriel Jesus.

Brahim played 55 minutes before making way for Raheem Sterling.

Fulham

Diaz bagged his first two senior goals for the club against the London side, which proved the difference as we marched into the quarter-finals after our 2-0 win. The, now, Real Madrid starlet featured for 78 minutes, before he was replaced by Riyad Mahrez in the closing moments of the game.

Leicester

After an impressive performance against Fulham, Diaz was named in Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up to face the Foxes in the quarter-final.

Diaz played for 64 minutes, but made way for Raheem Sterling in the second half.
